Yeah I would assume if anything they would have helped them bring federation

Yeah yeah yeah but ignoring that.... Would you?

You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.

Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can't do it without charging, you can't do it

Replicating images isn't really best practice. Images are meant to be ephemeral on the server. Dockers pattern is to repull the images if they are needed, and that only takes a few seconds. Saving the images IMO would just be a waste of space.

If you are afraid the images will be gone someday, the proper way to handle this is to use a docker registry as a proxy. So you make your own docker registry, like your.tld/registry and then set it in proxy mode. Then when you pull your images you set docker to pull from your registry. If it's found it will use your local data otherwise it will pull through from the parent registry, and serve the docker image to your client. For backup then you backup the registry's volume.

That fits within the pattern of docker. Your clients come up, query the local registry, and it will serve your containers. Your server remains ephemeral.

Do you mean docker volumes? If so it's very easy, just tar where the volumes and and move them over, untar them and map the containers to wherever they should go. Don't overthink it.

If you mean docker images I'd ask why, can you just repull them?

Nobody even does from it anymore!

Power attracts those attracted to power.

Fair. Not even all the other cuts they made, they just want healthcare for people. Democrats do a lot of wrong, but this is one thing absolutely worth standing up for. The woman is right, people will die, and in this case if these don't happen people will in fact die.

What a slimey person. Giving half truths. Democrats are causing this, BS. Democrats are trying to keep the Affordable Care Act, which she is probably very interested in. Just outright lying to her. Democrats want 1 thing. 1, out of everything that has happened - 1 thing, and they refuse to give it to them. It's a complete power move, they want to be completely in control and refuse to give anything.

I find myself flooded with new releases I don't care about, but then go and spend 2 months playing through all of mass effect instead

It's a fun one, but I desperately wish there was a way to run it without needing a VM or something. It's all just windows or mac based, but they do have the best models

I understand that how you feel, and I also understand a mother's beliefs. While what she's saying is probably superstition, it also comes from a place of love, where she truly does want you to feel better.

Now, while what she said may be superstition, I will also say going to an event like that usually does help depression. Not because of anything mystical - but you're out of the house, you're with people who you care about and care about you, for an evening you don't need to worry about anything outside of the wedding, it is meant to be an event to enjoy. All of these are proven to help with depression, and an event like a wedding definitely can, if you go into them positively and want to have a good time. If you go into them thinking you're going to have a terrible time - well, you probably will. It's what you make of it.

Either way, responding to your mother's good wishes doesn't have to be extremely negative, (and this is coming from a person who's mother was a fundamental christian who tried to drag me to many many things). In this case, personally without knowing you I'd say go to the wedding. Worst case you get free booze and a decent meal. If you really don't want to, then a simple message to your mom that's like "Mom, I truly do appreciate that you're trying to help me, but I'm just not ready for an event like this. How about we do something quieter?". Acknowledge her trying to help, suggest an alternative.

Final thought: Could it be that she wants you to go with her not for your sake, but for hers? Does she need a plus one and she just wants to spend time with you, but maybe doesn't know how to ask?
